Steven Moffat: "It's hard to let go" of Smith

Ao site Entertainmentwise Moffat disse "It's hard to let go, watching him on set yesterday (Sunday) and he's so heartbreakingly good. You get all excited about the new doctor and then you go back and you see Matt on his first day back on set and you think 'oh my God that's what we're losing'."

Aos comentários sobre as filmagens do especial de Natal e Matt Smith, Moffat acrescentou “He’s so brilliant and he’s at the height of his powers in the part, he’s so funny, so clever, so inventive.”, elogiando assim Smith mais uma vez.
